Vision
Where do we want to be
This project aims on providing everything you need to fully immerse in sim racing and flight simulation.
Simulation-focused development
Hardware, firmware and software developed around the needs of racing and flight simulation.
Modular design
A modular architecture connects multiple components into an integrated simulator setup.
Flexible and customizable
Configuration tools and calculators explore component options, layouts and simulator setups.
Cover all aspects of sim gear
We aim to provide a complete ecosystem or hardware, firmware, and software for racing and flight simulation.
Knowledge sharing
Read technical references about simulation hardware, design considerations and system architecture.
Clear project terms
Public documentation explains prototype status, current permissions and the contribution policy.
What are the next steps?
Create the knowledge base
We need to populate the knowledge base with all the details. This will be the foundation for the rest of the project.
Design the first OpenSimGear "gear"
The we proceed with the design of the first simple piece of gear to develop all the necessary tools and processes.
Build and test the first prototype
Then we proceed to build and test the designed gear and adjust the design based on the results.
Create the configuration software
Finally we create the config software to allow users to customize the gear to their needs and then we move on to the next gear!
